Delivery & Returns

United Kingdom and Offshore Islands

THE BIRD LOFT offer free delivery to most of the United Kingdom and offshore islands on all orders of dry goods of £55 and over, with the exception of bulk seed, cages and similar products. Orders under £55 will incur a delivery charge of £4.99. Unfortunately, some postcodes will incur an extra delivery charge and we will contact you by telephone or email after you have ordered if additional charges apply.

International Deliveries

THE BIRD LOFT can despatch to addresses worldwide including Europe and the USA, but unfortunately cannot deliver to BFPO postcodes and parts of Asia.  We also reserve the right not to deliver goods if the address is felt not to be secure. Orders to Europe and the EU will incur a minimum tracked delivery charge of £19.95,  the USA or Canada £29.95 will apply and the Rest of the World £36.95. All international buyers should contact The Bird Loft for exact postage costs prior to completing their purchase.

Collecting Your Order

Please do not request to reserve and collect your order, or likewise order and collect from The Bird Loft as not all items are stored on our premises.

Delivery Method and Timing

We currently use Royal Mail and various reliable couriers to despatch your goods, but whatever method is used, we will always obtain proof of postage for our records and your peace of mind.

We aim to deliver the majority of orders within 3-5 days, but where items are delivered direct from the manufacturer or supplier this will differ and you will receive an email to advise you of the delivery time.

In the unlikely event that your order should fail to arrive within our promised delivery period please contact us with your order number and we will carry out a thorough investigation on your behalf and get your items to you as soon as possible. All non-delivery must be reported via email within 10 WORKING DAYS. The Bird Loft promise to maintain communications with customers with any problems at all times.

Should you be out when your parcel arrives, depending on the nature of the product, the courier or Royal Mail will leave a card informing you of attempted delivery and it then becomes your responsibility to arrange re-delivery at your convenience in accordance with the instructions printed on the card.

We will ensure that your goods are correctly packaged before despatch but THE BIRD LOFT cannot accept liability for damage sustained by their subsequent treatment. THE BIRD LOFT denies any liability for any loss resulting from damaged or faulty items, or late delivery.

Frozen Food and Live Food Frozen foods are sold subject to availability and orders will be despatched on a first come first served basis. Frozen foods will be packaged to arrive still frozen on a guaranteed timed service and it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that somebody is available at the delivery address to receive a frozen food order. THE BIRD LOFT accepts no responsibility for frozen orders which are defrosted/spoiled because nobody was available to receive the delivery. However, in the event of a frozen food delivery not having arrived by 1pm on the agreed day, customers are obliged to inform us of the problem with delivery immediately by telephone or email. Failure to inform us of a delayed delivery of live food or frozen food by this time may invalidate any guarantee of safe arrival of live/frozen goods and customers may not be entitled to a replacement of their order. We reserve the right to postpone delivery of any frozen food or live food orders which are placed during extreme weather conditions, e.g., flood, deep snow, heat wave or extreme overnight temperatures. Delivery of live foods will usually result in next day delivery, but this cannot be guaranteed. If you wish to have your live foods delivered by special delivery, please contact us before placing an order as this will incur an extra cost. THE BIRD LOFT put customer satisfaction first in all delivery decisions.

WEEE Regulations

The ‘Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) ‘was introduced in January 2007 by the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Regulations 2006 and subsequently updated.  The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being produced to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it. The Bird Loft is obliged therefore to offer customers free disposal of their WEEE when they purchase a similar new electrical or electronic product. Customers must forward their old WEEE item to us within 14 days of purchasing their new item. Items can be posted back to us, but we will not accept returns of WEEE without a copy of the receipt or invoice for the similar purchased item.
